You talk about mixing cards into one deck-- that fits with principle of interleaving, which is another cogsci backed learning principle.

Additionally: memory palaces/journeys + Anki is quite effective. Very good for memorizing a sequence of information. Example: remember genetic diseases by representing them with an image or person, have 1-3 additional bits of info in the story, and group in categories

Like: all glycogen storage diseases in one journey. Trinucleotude repeats in another. etc. Big issue: each journey card requires more effort-- like 2-4 minutes of thinking to go through 40-60 loci. Still efficient, but annoying to have mixed with other cards

I think my issue with the memory palaces is that they rely on rich associations… to the wrong things. You ultimately want people to build rich associations internal to a subject, not by relating it to the house your grew up in. Still, I should explore it more, I may be wrong
